Over the last two decades, remarkable progress has been made in use of computational
methods for understanding 2D materials growth. The aim of this Review is to provide an …

Encapsulation of metal nanoparticles just below the surface of a prototypical layered
material, graphite, is a recently discovered phenomenon. These encapsulation architectures …

From studies on supported model catalysts, we know that the reactivity of catalysts depends
on the size and shape of the metal nanoparticles but also for some reactions it can depend …

We present a theoretical modeling of the energy-loss spectroscopy data for monolayer
graphene (MLG) supported by Pt (111), Ru (0001) and Ni (111) substrates. To reproduce the …

The formation of multidomain epitaxial graphene on Rh (111) under ultra-high vacuum
(UHV) conditions has been characterized by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) …

We demonstrate that highly surface-sensitive supersonic rare-gas (He, Ar, and Xe) atom
scattering, in both the quantum and classical regimes, can probe and quantify the interlayer …

Using density functional theory calculations with van der Waals corrections, we have
investigated the stability and electronic properties of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride …

Abstract Graphene/Ni (110) has been studied by time-resolved X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure. The C 1s core level shows a …

Using ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory
(DFT), we investigated the surface structure of 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) domains …

As research in 2-D materials evolves toward combinations of different materials, interesting
electronic and spintronic properties are revealed and may be exploited in future devices. A …
